Conditions for payment of state health district subsidy funds.

The president of
each board of health providing health services in one or more health districts
and the chief executive officer of each health department providing health
services in one or more health districts shall, on or before the first day of
March of each year, certify the amounts expended during the preceding calendar
year which qualify for state health district subsidy funds under section
3701.342 of the Revised Code and
rules adopted
by the director of health . The director of health shall certify the
amount payable under the state health district subsidy funds distribution
formula adopted by the director of health under section
3701.342 of the Revised Code to
the director of budget and management for payment. Payment shall not be made
unless:

(A)
The
board or department has provided such information concerning services and costs
as is requested by the director of health;

(B)
The
certificate of the board of health or health department has been endorsed by
the director of health;

(C)
The
board or department has complied with section
3701.342 of the Revised Code and
rules
adopted by the director of health;

(D)
The
municipal corporations and townships composing the health district have
provided adequate local funding for public health services. The
director
of health shall determine
what constitutes adequate local funding, and may grant an exception to this
requirement to a municipal corporation or township if unusually severe economic
conditions prevent it from receiving adequate tax revenues to help support
minimally acceptable public health services.

No state health
district subsidy funds shall be granted to any board or department that
decreases its appropriation for public health services in anticipation of using
state funds to provide public health services normally supported by local
revenues.
